The Panasonic SL-SX289V portable CD player was made with active use and listening flexibility as prime design factors. Spin your recordable audio CDs or listen to the radio, with an inline remote control or without. The choice is yours. The SL-SX289V features Panasonic's "No Skip" anti-skip system. "No Skip" construction was designed with rubber bushings to absorb the shock, while a thin and light anti-skip mechanism and anti-skip digital servo system add to the defense. It also boasts a digital-servo recovery system that can detect even a fractional difference in the CD's tracking and quickly recovers before it has a chance to "derail." And, the system is bolstered by an improved set of error correction chips together with a 40-second backup memory buffer. When a vertical shock (along the axis of the disc) causes a tracking error, the system plays back music from the memory buffer until correct tracking resumes.
The radio offers 20 FM station presets and 10 AM. Since the SL-SX289V enables playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs, you can enjoy listening to CDs that you make in addition to conventional audio CDs. This unit also features programmable playback (up to 24 tracks, in your chosen sequence), random play, repeat play (either one song or an entire disc), as well as XBS bass boost. The player includes a "pop-up" disc eject mechanism for easy disc removal.
The CD player uses two AA batteries (not included), which last up to 25 hours with CD playback and up to 75 hours using only the radio. You can also power the unit with an optional 4.5V AC/DC adapter, which lets you plug your portable CD player into an outlet.
With a heat-resistant polycarbonate body, the SL-SX289V can be used in most outdoor settings without worry of damage. However, the unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.
